A column with a mass of 6 t produces a pressure of 400 kP on the support, determine the area of the column support.

Data: mk (column mass) = 6 t (6 * 10 ^ 3 kg); P (the pressure that this column produces on the support) = 400 kPa (400 * 10 ^ 3 Pa).

Constants: g (acceleration due to gravity) ≈ 10 m / s2.

The column support area can be expressed from the formula for calculating the pressure: P = F / Sop. = mk * g / Sop., whence Sop. = mk * g / R.

Calculation: Sop. = 6 * 10 ^ 3 * 10 / (400 * 10 ^ 3) = 0.15 m2.

Answer: The supporting area of the column is 0.15 m2.
